    A light summer burrata pizza with homemade pesto, fresh greens and a generous dollop of burrata. For me, this recipe straddles pizza and loaded flatbread. It's hearty, full of flavor and satisfying without being greasy or weighing you down afterwards.

    Burrata Pizza

    I love creamy things so any excuse to use burrata will be taken post haste! This recipe is kind of like a pizza, a salad and a giant ball of gooey burrata decided to get together and make the best thing ever! The cheese, and heirloom tomatoes really helped to balance out the strong flavors in my pesto. I used micro-greens but some peppery rocket would have been great in this as well!

    Some Hints and Tips to make burrata pizza

    • If you’re in a rush, try using some store-bought flatbread or naan to make this recipe!
    • You can spread pesto on the dough before baking if you want more of a pizza feel to this summer flatbread.
    • Feel free to use whichever greens you like on this and by all means, pile them high! You can even add a fully dressed salad on top of this and enjoy with a big dollop of burrata.
    • The dough can be made a day ahead. Just wrap in plastic and roll out. You can also substitute with my pizza dough for a fluffier base.

    Steps to Make burrata pizza

    Buratta Flatbread

    1. Preheat to 450F. Into the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a dough hook, add flour, salt and baking soda. Give it a whisk. 
    2. Add water while the mixer is on low. Add a few more drops if you’re noticing the dough isn’t coming together. Mix on high until the dough comes together on the hook. 
    3. Flour a work surface and knead the dough for about 5 minutes. 
    4. Test the dough’s elasticity with your finger. It will bounce back. Divide into four pieces. Form into disks and let each rest for about 30 minutes. 
    5. Roll out and knead into a pizza shape. 
    6. Brush some olive oil on. Bake for about 12 – 15 minutes or until golden.  
    7. Place basil, parmesan, kosher salt, walnuts, lemon zest, lemon juice and garlic into the blender. Pour in olive oil with the blender on.  Thinly slice the radishes and tomatoes. Devein the sprigs of thyme and rosemary. Give the herbs and green onions a chop. Add a thin layer of pesto. 
    8. Evenly distribute a bed of micro greens, herbs, onions, tomatoes and radishes on the flatbread. 
    9. Spoon on 2-3 dollops of burrata. Drizzle some olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste.
